1) Physio Ball. Helped out during labor, and is pretty helpful now. Combine with the sling, and I can bounce him while having one or more hands free.

2. Burping. A few days ago, he started getting all squirmy at night. I think it might be a very strong let down, which can lead to more gas and/or reflux. I've taken some extra time for burping, and he's much happier. Slept for stretches of 3-4 hours last night, which means Mommy got to sleep for stretches of 2.5-3.5 hours, which makes for a much happier Mommy.

3. Stroller/Outside. Perhaps it's the novelty. Last night, after an hour of screaming (totally negating the whole "mommy going to bed early" concept), Daddy took him outside at like 10pm. Seemed weird at the time, but the extra hour of sleep was priceless.

About Me and my Mommy

Mommy is not so good about writing things in a baby book, but as a child, loved reading the one Gramma had kept for her. A digital baby book can be updated with photos and videos without actually printing anything, and can be shared with everyone . . . even Gramma!

Rowan, Mommy, Daddy, and Gipper the pug live in Queens, New York. Daddy is an engineer and loves Notre Dame football and the Red Sox. Mommy works for Nickelodeon and loves to knit (when she has two hands free). Gipper the pug is taking her job as "nana" very seriously and likes to look after and sniff the baby. So far, baby Rowan loves to eat and poop and cry.
